Few survive their teenage years without becoming a corner of a love triangle,
and director John Hughes creates the best ones on film. Andie (Molly
Ringwald) and Blane's (Andrew McCarthy) romance manages to blossom although
they come from different sides of the tracks, but mostly the viewer wants
Andie's best friend Duckie (Jon Cryer) to get the girl. It's difficult to
watch her reject him – especially after the best Otis Redding impersonation
in cinema.
